Book Discussion Groups

Young readers across Adams County have the opportunity to delve a little deeper into literature with our Book Discussion Groups. Offered for a variety of ages, and with varying themes and genres, there is something for every young bibliophile. While discussion of story plot, themes, and characters are important to the group, we also incorporate unique book-related activities such as activities and games to make the story come to life!
